As I reflected on workshop themes for the close of 2016, I felt drawn to create a yin/yang balance for us through the practice.  Sometimes in our lives we are in a transition that is asking for reflection, rest and recovery, while sometimes we are wanting to fly.  And so, I am offering an opportunity for you to experience both.  On Saturday, October 15th we will take flight in  Arm Balances: Right Side Up & Upside Down. The art of alignment is profoundly at play in these poses as we learn that strength is a only one part of the secret to our success. Yogis who are new to these poses are invited to come to the workshop.  To quote one of my teachers:  "The pose is not necessarily the pose, the direction is the pose."  The question then is are you going in the right direction? This workshop will give you the direction.  Then later in the year as the holiday season is upon us, I am offering  Holiday Yoga Nidra on November 19th.  In this time together we will relax and renew through restorative poses and yoga nidra (the sleep of the yogi).   We will breathe into the holidays.

I look forward to sharing both of these experiences with you.  In my own practice, I find that it is the balance of these qualities that create a "strong body, quiet mind."
